Full HD 1080p

Enjoy outstanding clarity and resolution with this Samsung plasma HDTV. Images are crisper, sharper, with superior details.

600Hz Subfields

Ever notice how with plasma screens, motions can get a little jerky? Unless you happen to be looking at one of Samsung's new plasma TVs. Every frame is seamlessly smooth because we put 10 full subfields into each frame. That's 600Hz. So contours are crisper, scrolling text sharper and the juddering issue is finally put to rest.

Cinema Smooth™

The difference between a movie on TV vs. the silver screen has always been, well, big. But the technologies of our Cinema Smooth and our Movie Mode have changed all that. Images are now smoother and color temperatures closer to real film. Bringing you closer to a movie theater experience.

Ultra Filter Bright Plus

Let the sun shine in. Glare and ambient light won't be a problem for our new plasma screens. Ultra FilterBright plus blocks external light reflections. And at the same time it maximizes transmission of internal light. The future for plasmas has never looked brighter.

Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio

Getting a true cinematic experience used to mean going to the cinema. But with Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio true cinematic clarity comes to plasmas. Every frame is saturated with dense, rich color. Blacks have more depth and the whites are unbelievably pristine. The only thing missing is a large head blocking your view.

100Hz Motion Plus

Never has fast-paced animation or special effects in movies looked smoother than they do with 100Hz Motion Plus technology. By analyzing and extending action frames, 100Hz Motion Plus assures nothing goes by in a blur. Instead, special effects are crisper. Animation smoother. Sports sharper. And viewers are more glued to their screens.

The World Wide Web Just Got Wider

Can't decide if you'd rather watch TV or a YouTube video or check your stocks on Yahoo? Do it all on the Samsung TV . An easy to use widget lets you watch, add or delete content. View it all on the roomy sidebar or across the incredibly wide screen. With the Samsung TV, TV goes way beyond just TV.

Content Library Flash

Suppose you feel like watching pictures of gallery or cooking instead of watching TV. Content Library Flash let's you do that too. Enjoy your own content, from children's song to fitness. There's so much you can do with Samsung TV. Including watching it.

Your Audience Awaits

There's no excuse anymore for leaving all those great digital pictures and videos in your cameras or storage devices. Thanks to the USB 2.0 Movie: Multi-media Center feature on all Samsung LED TVs you can connect your digital camera, thumb drive - even your MP3 player - quickly and easily. The smart, user-friendly USB 2.0 interface allows you to access videos, playlists and pictures with your remote. Now anytime can be showtime.

Energy Saving

Using less energy doesn't have to mean sacrificing picture quality. Our Energy Saving Mode adjusts the backlight to give you a richer picture while at the same time consuming less energy.

HDMI

All it takes is one cable to connect your TV to your other audio and video sources. Our HDMI slot allows you to import all kinds of content without compression including pictures and videos from your digital camcorders and multimedia PCcs. Now enjoying it all on a wide HD screen couldn't be easier.

Nice picture, weak sound
By socalh2oskier from California on 1/1/2010
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Did not work out of box. Screen worked for about one minute and then switched to full screen of black and white lines and dots. This went on for several days, and then, all of a sudden, when a replacement was on the way, it suddenly started working and has worked perfectly since. Picture is very good. Sound is lousy--you need external sound. Also, they will tell you that plasma in a bright room is no longer a problem--this is not true. My 3 year old LCD has a better picture in a bright room. My tv sits in front of a large picture window that gets direct sunlight in the afternoon, and the plasma is not bright enough. Once the sun goes down, the picture is terrific. Overall, a great looking, extremely thin tv with a very good picture. Good buy for the money (so long as it works)

Did have Buzz, Easy Warantee Repair
By Paul L. Verified Reviewer from Pottstown, PA on 12/25/2009
Pros:
Great picture
Cons:
Had loud buzz
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Had loud buzzing that could be heard 8-10 feet away from the set at low listening volumes. Particularly loud when scenes were light or white. Called Samsung customer service. Ran through some basic troubleshooting and determined to dispatch tech. Tech called in less than 6 hours from contact with CS. Scheduled fix when had parts, about 2 days. The fix is removing the back (metal gage not much thicker than a throwaway foil pan). sticking two dense foam blocks near a PCB, and reattaching the back. 15 minutes max. No more buzzing.
